摘要 A pneumatic tire is disclosed having a tread, an annular reinforcing structure in the tread, sidewalls and beads wherein the sidewalls have a section midline which is convex to the inside of the tire, both before and after inflation. The annular reinforcing structure is substantially inextensible and has sections in the central portion near the plane of the axis of rotation which have their own concavity and wherein the concavity at the central portion differs in an opposite sense from that of the lateral portions.
权利要求
1. A pneumatic tire for vehicles comprising a tread, an annular reinforcing structure incorporated in said tread, two sidewalls comprising eleastomeric material and terminating into beads intended to be encased in appropriate seats in the wheel rim, said sidewalls having in those sections of each plane containing the axis of rotation of the tire, a section midline whose convexity is directed towards the tire inside, said convexity being unchanged in sense under the thrust of tire inflation pressure, said annular reinforcing structure being substantially inextensible and defining contours, in proximity of the lateral edges of said tread, whose points are at a substantially invariable distance, with respect to pressure variations, from the points defined by said beads in the same section planes, characterized in that said annular reinforcing structure, in the sections of each plane containing said axis of rotation, when the tire is inflated at its service pressure, has a profile whose curvature has its own concavity, at the structure''s central portion, directed radially inwardly of the tire, while the concavity of the profile at the structure''s lateral portions is directed radially outwardly of the tire.
2. The pneumatic tire of claim 1 wherein the concavity of the profile changes in sense at the portion situated axially outwardly with respect to a line equidistant between the midline of the profile and each lateral end of the latter.
3. The pneumatic tire of claim 1 wherein the profile has a curvature which decreases from the midline of the profile towards each of the lateral ends of the latter.
4. The pneumatic tire of claim 1 wherein the radial distance between each lateral end of said profile and the projection, on the vertical line passing through said lateral end, of the point where the curvature of the lateral portion begins, is less than 50 percent of the radial height of said profile.
5. The pneumatic tire of claim 4 wherein at each lateral portion which joins the corresponding sidewall, the tangent to said profile forms an angle no greater than 30* with respect to the axis of rotation of the tire.
6. The pneumatic tire of claim 5 wherein at each lateral portion which joins the corresponding sidewall, the tangent to said profile is parallel to the axis of rotation of the tire.
